So I sourced a 92 ac system from my friend Ian! Included the newer firewall pan for the evaporator lines, switch, wiring and relay, lines, condensor, pusher efan and wires, evaporator, compressor and mounts!

Just went thru this whole thread- unbelievable attention to detail and great work. One question: do you have a regular 'job' and do you ever sleep? LOL
I know this build has taken place over almost three years, but it is a ton of work, plus you're also swapping engines, etc. on other cars at the same time.
Anyway...I'm impressed!

Thank you! I want this build to be the best I can make it since it’s such a rare car. I do get sidetracked by other demands (car repairs for the family/friends, other projects, volunteering, etc). I appreciate your kind words as I get feeling I’m not doing enough at times! That said, as I look back at 2018, I rebuilt two p2 Volvo’s, a fishing boat and a 23’ camper! So the 242 was a bit neglected over the year. My goal now is to get it out of the garage by Spring of this year...

Are you planning on using the 4.10 ring and pinion in this car? Assuming you want this to be a street car, I'd recommend not going any shorter than 3.73 if you're pairing it with a M46, M47, M90, getrag 265 or other similarly-geared transmission.
